Startup taxes: underrated pain or solved problem?
by•
I’ve noticed that founders obsess over product, growth, and funding, but often completely ignore taxes and compliance until it becomes a fire.
I’ve seen smart early-stage founders hit with $10K+ IRS penalties simply for missing forms like 5472 or 1120. Not because they’re irresponsible, they just didn’t know those forms existed.
Curious to hear from this community:
- How are you handling IRS filings as a startup?
- Do you use CPAs, software, or wing it until someone warns you?
- What’s the most confusing thing you’ve dealt with (IRS, state tax, 1099s)?
We just launched something in this space to help (focused on DE C-Corps), but this post isn’t about that. I really wanna know if this is still a real pain or if I’m in a bubble.
